EDUCATION: These courses are delivered by Specialist Mary Hare Teachers of the Deaf and members of the Mary Hare Training team. All members of our team are experts in their field and take an active part in delivering our Foundation Degree in Hearing Aid Audiology and our postgraduate courses in Educational Studies (Hearing Impairment); Early Years and Deafness and Educational Audiology.

AUDIOLOGY: These courses are delivered by our Mary Hare Audiology team. Mary Hare employs Clinical Audiologists, Audiological Scientists, Educational Audiologists and Hearing Aid Dispensers. These staff are appropriately trained and experienced in the delivery of approved BSA (British Society of Audiology) courses and (where appropriate) are registered with the Health Professions Council. These professionals have been chosen to work with our Audiology team because of their extensive experience with deaf children.

EAR FOUNDATION: Each year, the Ear Foundation chooses the courses that they would like to deliver at Mary Hare. This year we are hosting three courses from their programme.

Mary Hare tries to keep the cost of its short courses as low as possible. For this reason, delegates needing BSL interpretation for a short course will need to use their 'Access to Work' allowance to provide their own BSL support.
